Everyone seems to be complaining about LLMs not actually being intelligent. Does anyone know if there are alternatives out there, either in theory or already made, that you would consider to be ‘more intelligent’ or have the potential to be more intelligent than LLMs?
This gets really deep into how we’re all made of not alive things and atoms and yet here we are, and why is it no other planet has life like us etc. Also super philosophical!
But truly, the LLMs don’t understand things they say, and Apple apparently just put out a paper saying they don’t reason either (if you consider that to be different from understanding). They’re claiming it’s all fancy pattern recognition. (Putting link below of interested)

Another difference between a human and an LLM is likely the ability to understand semantics within syntax, rather than just text alone.
I feel like there’s more that I want to add but I can’t quite think of how to say it so I’ll stop here.
